A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

After Emperor Xuande left, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony also stood up and walked out.

Song Hongshen walked past Minister Hu, whose mouth was full of blood, and stopped to look at him deeply.

Minister Hu knew that his official career was over.

I was able to save my life thanks to the mercy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

All the court officials thought that after this incident, the emperor would restrain himself.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not restrain himself, but became more obsessed with alchemy than before.

However, he was much more diligent in state affairs than before.

Although he still attended the morning court every few days, it was obvious that he no longer delegated power to Song Hongshen.

He personally inquired about the appointment and removal of important officials and major matters.

In early November, Su Shunci and Lin Wuchen finally hurried back to Beijing. They brought dozens of truckloads of overseas goods back to Beijing, intending to sell them before the New Year.

Last year's overseas shipment made them a lot of money. So this year, when his subordinates went out to sea, Su Shunci specifically told them what kind of goods to bring back.

With the experience of the previous year, the people under him also had a plan. The goods brought back this time made Su Shunci's eyes light up.

After arriving in Beijing, the two did not return home, but went to Lin's Trading Company first.

All the gifts given by each person must be put away properly, and only the remaining ones can be sold.

The people that Su Shunci wanted to send off included her two mothers, her third uncle and aunt, her fifth sister, her eldest sister, and everyone from the Song family.

There are also some ladies and young ladies who often go to Huajin Pavilion to take care of her business, and they should also show some appreciation appropriately.

Lin Wuchen selected some for his aunt and cousin, as well as for the relatives in the old house.

In addition, I also need to give some New Year gifts to old business friends, so I just choose them here.

The two men selected the things and told their subordinates to put them away.

Su Shunci slumped down on a chair in the living room, "Finally I can rest for a few days."

After two months of traveling by boat and train, the two of them inspected the shop and looked at goods everywhere. Su Shunci felt that her waist had become thinner.

Lin Wuchen looked at her distressedly, walked outside, and told Jinyun, "Go and tell the kitchen to make some ginseng chicken soup and send it over."

Jin Yunfu left, and before Lin Wuchen could turn around to go back, another manager came to reply.

He had been away for two months, and had been relying on letters to support the business in the capital. There were some things that could not be written in the letter, so the manager would wait for him to come back before asking.

It was a quarter of an hour later when Lin Wuchen returned to the hall.

Su Shunci lay on the nanmu square table and fell asleep.

He walked to her side, leaned over and held her in his arms.

Su Shunci woke up with a start, opened her eyes dazedly, and found herself in Lin Wuchen's arms.

Even though they were already engaged and had expressed their feelings, she still felt a little nervous when they were so close.

She wanted to go down and walk by herself, but Lin Wuchen hugged her tightly.

"Go to sleep and don't talk."

He leaned over and kissed her between the eyebrows. Su Shunci was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes and subconsciously buried her face in his chest.

Lin Wuchen couldn't take her to the bedroom, so he carried her to the study room next to the hall. There was a bed in the inner room of the study room, which was just right for her to sleep for a while.

He put Su Shunci on the bed in the inner room of the study and covered her with a quilt.

He whispered, "I'm just outside, you can sleep peacefully."

Su Shunci was indeed very tired and turned over and fell asleep.

Lin Wuchen ordered his subordinates to bring in the account books for the past two months. He also asked them not to disturb him and asked those who wanted to reply to him to wait.

Su Shunci slept soundly inside throughout the afternoon, while Lin Wuchen finished looking through the account books outside.

Even when flipping through the account books, he moved very quietly, for fear of disturbing her.

As it was getting dark outside, Lin Wuchen took out a brand new piece of paper and started writing.

Candied pork elbow, crispy roast duck, chicken soup ham, braised three whites, pickled duck slices, dry-fried winter bamboo shoots...

There are more than a dozen dishes on it.

After finishing writing, Lin Wuchen tiptoed out of the room and called Lin Jin who was not far away to come over.

He whispered, "Tell someone to go to Ruyi Tower and order food according to this list."

"After the dishes are delivered, leave some and place them in the side hall. You can divide the rest directly."

"Also, go to Delicious Food and buy some snacks. Buy some of the ones we used to have here."

Lin Jin smiled and said, "I see. These are all the ones that my fourth cousin likes to eat. I remember them all."

He smiled meaningfully, with a smug look that said, "I understand everything."

Lin Wuchen raised his foot and kicked him, "Go quickly."

After Lin Jin left, he turned back to the study, only to find that Su Shunci had already gotten up and was sitting on the small bed in the inner room with sleepy eyes.

Lin Wuchen poured a cup of warm water and walked over to her and handed it to her. The room was heated by a floor heater, so it was very dry.

Su Shunci's mouth was dry. She took the water and drank it all. Then she looked at the sky and said, "It's so late already? I was thinking of going to my elder sister's place in the afternoon and going back to Prince Ning's mansion for dinner in the evening."

Lin Wuchen comforted him softly, "It will be the same if we go tomorrow. I have asked someone to prepare food and we will be able to eat soon."

"After we finish our meal, I will take you back to Prince Ning's Mansion. Otherwise, if you go back at this time, Aunt and Aunt Lian will also be worried. I'm afraid they will have to go to the kitchen and make your favorite food."

Su Shunci thought about it and agreed. It wouldn't take an entire afternoon.

She got up and went to the side room to change her clothes and wash her face.

After everything was cleaned up, the food was also set out in the side hall.

Lin Wuchen pulled her and sat down in the side hall.

Su Shunci glanced at the dishes on the table and immediately started salivating. "Oh my, there are so many dishes, why are they all my favorites?"

Lin Jin kept half of each dish, but with more than a dozen dishes, even half would not be a small amount.

Lin Wuchen said lovingly: "You have to repeat it several times every day when you are in the south. If I can't remember it, it will be outrageous."

As he spoke, he picked up a duck leg and placed it on the plate in front of her.

"Try and see if it tastes the same. The dishes are from Ruyilou and the dim sum is from Delicious House."

"Tell me what else you want to eat, and I'll deliver it to Prince Ning's mansion tomorrow."

Su Shunci picked up the duck leg and took a bite. "I'll eat these first."

The duck legs have a layer of skin on them, roasted until golden and greasy.

One bite and the salty and fragrant juice spreads in your mouth.

Su Shunci had a satisfied expression on his face as he savored the taste of the duck leg.

After swallowing it, he said, "This is the taste. This duck is even more delicious than the one roasted in Beijing."

As she spoke, some of the oil from the roast duck flowed out from the corners of her lips.

Lin Wuchen took out a cotton towel and raised his hand to wipe the corners of her lips. "Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you."

Soon after, another duck leg was placed on Su Shunci's plate.

Su Shunci was not polite either. While eating, she also picked up some food for Lin Wuchen.

Both of them were hungry and greedy, so they quickly ate up most of the food on the table.

After dinner, Su Shunci leaned back in his chair, feeling content and lazy.
